    "content": "fail to empower these youth through promoting the agriculture sector and other avenues, the more we breed danger to this country. The plight of the tea farmers is the right word. When we get the tea farmers where I come from, the poverty rate is so high simply because when tea farming was still very profitable, most of the people planted tea to the point that they left no room for food crops. This is because they used to get a lot of money that they could use to buy food. Today, malnutrition and starvation is very high in tea planting areas. This is a very serious issue that should seriously be addressed. To make matters worse, tea growing areas such as Bomet, Kericho, Nandi, Vihiga and other places are so green and attractive that people can easily imagine that they are the best places where wealth is being generated. That is a mirage. More often, those places do not receive any help from any Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). Tea farmers are suffering. Even the multi-national plantations in our places are declining. They used to be the biggest employers for the youth."
